D&E Landing Market Share Analysis for August 2026

Time of Year Lake Guntersville frog fishing can be productive from late September through the middle of November depending on the weather and water temperature. I believe Mid to late October is about as safe a bet as you can make although there have been years when the frog fishing was wide open in late September and the first week of October or as late as the second week of November. Many anglers plan their trip months in advance which can be a great strategy since the best lodging values book up well before frog fishing time. The only downside is that you might miss the wide open window. If your trip is timed right throw the frog and hang on! Water Temperature is Key As the weather and water temperature cools down at Lake Guntersville the bass fishing heats up! Look for water temps in the low 60’s as a start to finding the best frog fishing. If the water is warmer I recommend fishing the outside edges of the mat with a topwater, Senko type lure or a soft plastic. You can still catch bass in the mats with higher water temps but the frog fishing won't really turn on until the water cools off.
